Washington anti-gay pastor: Same-sex marriage will lead men to marry horses

During a televised debate in Washington state on Wednesday, Antioch Bible Church pastor Ken Hutcherson claimed that legalizing same-sex marriage in the state would lead to polygamy, bestiality, and pedophilia.

“Do they believe that if they change the definition of marriage being between one man and one woman, what is going to stop two men one woman, two women one man, one man against a horse, one man with a boy, one man with anything,” he asked.

Hutcherson is one of the state’s most outspoken opponents of same-sex marriage and has recently compared Gov. Christine Gregoire (D) to President Abraham Lincoln’s assassin for endorsing marriage equality.
